ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I’m fortunate enough to work with an amazing, dedicated group of people who are the best consultants any author could ask for. They possess not only specialized knowledge and experience that make them the experts that they are, but also the generosity of spirit to share that expertise with me and help me create the best book possible.

Specifically, I want to thank:

Angela Bell, Public Affairs Specialist, FBI Office of Public Affairs, who quite simply defines the word “awesome.”

SSA James McNamara, FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit, retired, Behavioral Criminology International, former Captain United States Marine Corps, whose vast knowledge of criminal human behavior is a fascinating counterpart to his firsthand knowledge of the skills and character of a US Marine.

Debbie D’Alessio, Personal Trainer, who spent hours teaching me everything from professional training techniques to the basics of using state-of-the-art training equipment.

Shannon Wojnar, who introduced me to the world of competitive gymnastics.

“JP” and “his daughter”, who brought Chicago to life for me, and gave me an insider’s view of the city and its surrounding suburbs.

Dr. Paul Sedlacek, who combines extraordinary veterinary expertise with overall medical knowledge (along with a dash of creativity) to lend understanding to the human/animal anatomical similarities and differences.

As always I want to thank the following:

My readers, who inspire me, cheer me on, and love my characters as much as I do.

And to my family, who are my heart and my champions—I feel eternally blessed to have you. I love you, always.
